Is it really already November?! Well, I'm trying to finish this year strong and keeping my weekday updates going. I do hope you're all enjoying my work!
Hey everyone!
Through some miracle, I have found myself nominated in four categories for the Komikon 2017 Reader's Choice Awards! So, I'd really appreciate it if you fill out the online ballot and send me some votes! You can find me or my work in the following categories:
Best Comic Strip Compilation ("Callous - Braving Life One Cup at a Time")
Best Cartoonist
Best Webcomic ("Callous")
Best Cover ("Callous - Braving Life One Cup at a Time")
I'd also appreciate it if you would send Rod Espinosa some votes for his illustration work on our collaboration, "Immortal Wings" under the Best International Artist category!
Thank you so much! The link to the online ballot follows:

oh hey Carlo, it's been a long time! I somehow lost track of your comic, sorry about that. Glad to see you on Tapas, it's easy for me to keep up with everyone here.
Hey Tapastic-land!
I'm back from ECCC and it was AMAZING!
Now, I'm back at my drawing table and computer, getting a huge backlog of comic strips done. "Callous" weekday comic strips should resume starting today!
Going to ECCC 2017?
I'm going to be at booth W16 of the Artist Alley at Emerald City Comicon 2017! I'll have "Callous", "M.O.U.S.E. - Multiple Ordnance and Utility Synthetic Entity", and "Immortal Wings" comic books! I'll be doing art cards as well.
Do pass by as I would love to meet you!
Hey Tapastic-land!
So I'm trying out this new vertical format for the Callous comic strips online. Granted, it's more work but I think it comes off as a better online reading experience.
Furthermore, I've started mirroring updates from callouscomics.com to Tapastic. That saves me some time and makes comic posts here a whole lot more frequent.
That's it for now. I like it here so I do hope people here enjoy my work as well.
Hey everyone!
Good news and bad news.
I've literally spent years thinking on what to do with Callous on Tapastic. Maintaining the main website (callouscomics.com) is already more than what I can handle and converting more than a thousand comic strips for better viewing on Tapastic (I admit, they look great here) is, quite frankly, just too much for me.
So until I can get help on the work needed for both Tapastic and callouscomics.com, updates for the gag-a-day series will be very sporadic. If you want to keep up with the newspaper strips, callouscomics.com is the place to go to! Or get the Manila Bulletin, if you can. ;)
Now for the good news.
It has long been my plan to publish the fantasy storylines of Callous here on Tapastic. That's still going to happen and it'll be arranged in a several strip per episode format! And soon, the new fantasy storyline, "Reign Fall", which features a prologue drawn by the amazing Kurohiko (http://www.kurohiko.com/) will be published exclusively online right here in Tapastic!
Have a great day, everyone!
